First Halloween

Like I mentioned in my last post, James has started noticing his hands. After taking his 6 month pictures I had him lying on the bed still and he started doing it, and I managed to get a few shots. Yay! This completely steals my heart.

He caught me.

(My bedroom is definitely in WIP mode. It drives me nuts, but home improvement is hard.)
Here are some pictures of James' halloween costume. He is a parrot. I made it myself, using this tutorial as a starting point. It's not perfect and was done in a rush because I'm a huge procrastinator, but I feel pretty good about how it turned out.

Taken by my mom's iphone because we were at her house.

And here we are together at the stake halloween party. I was a pirate because OF COURSE I WAS A PIRATE. I just can't knock the habit.

He must have really been channeling his inner parrot because he made squawking noises all night. Of course he had ripped off and tried to eat a few of the feathers before we even made it to the party. I guess he needed to molt.

And I forgot what else I was going to say. It's been one of those days.
